AP﻿C accuses Ubah, LP of parading fake ‘ACN’ woman

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Anambra State has accused the Labour Party and its candidate, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah of parading a woman who they claimed to be a member of the defunct ACN as having declared support for them.

In a press release made on behalf of the APC by Mr Okelo Madukaife, former ACN publicity secretary in the state, the party denounced Mrs Amaka Obi, who spoke at the Labour Party candidate’s flag off of campaign in Onitsha last week.

The release read in part, “We decry the decision of Mr Ifeanyi Ubah, his handlers, and the leader of Labour Party to flag off their pre-emptive gubernatorial campaign in Anambra on a fraudulent note, by bringing a floor member of Accord Party to pose as APC Woman Leader, a position she never held, even in ACN.

“While acknowledging the indirect admission that APC is the party to beat in the November 16 gubernatorial race, we are concerned that Ubah thinks that he must fake membership and create decampees from all parties for his rally to be considered successful”.

The party said that this “smacks of inferiority complex and bears no relevance to acceptability of a party or candidate”.

They, however, said there was need to state that Ubah just walked into a self-made trap because the last had not been heard on the matter.

Okelo stated that, “Mrs Amaka Obi made a shameful exit from ACN three years ago, having been screened out of the contest for Woman Leader in ACN, for reasons Labour Party will eventually not be proud of, when they discover it. Having left for Accord Party through Defunct CPC, what she claimed to have torn on stage was neither ACN card nor APC card. Instead it is clearly Accord Party card by size and colour”.

It would also be re-called that the Anambra State governor, Mr Peter Obi had also in a function in Awka stated that the Ifeanyi Ubah group presented two men to pose as the traditional ruler and president general of his (Obi) community who came on stage to ridicule him.
